THE FIRST GUN.

Ohio is no longer an October State.
Her gubernatorial election next Novem-
Der will, therefore, be the opening fight
in the next Presidential campaign. 1t is
the only close State having guberna-
torial election this fall, the home of the
most talked-of Republican candidate for
the Presidency, and the State in Which
the labor fight cut SO important figure
in the spring elections. Foraker will
probably be the Republican candidate
Tor Governor, and Congressman Foran OF
the Cleveland District the Democratic
candidate. Foran is popular and con-
servative friend Of the labor element, and
under his able leadership it is believed
the Democracy will carry the State.
Such a result would not only eliminate
John Sherman from the Presidential
problem, but 60 far to solve the great
problem of 1888.

and proprietors of designs and trade
marks shall have prior right of regis
tration in all countries or nations that are
members of the Union. The term of
this priority for Americans is seven
months as respects patents, and four
months for trade marks. The regulations
of the Union will also apply in favor Of
its members in respect to protection
against infringers. Several other excel
lent provisions pertain to the Union,
which extends the aegis of its protection
to all kinds of industrial property and
products, including agricultural produc-
tons. wine, corn, fruits, cattle, minerals,
etc."
The movement is one of the most i'm
portant yet made in international nego-
tiations. and while it will be advantageous
to all members of the Uuion, the invent
i've genius OF America may be depended
upon to reap the largest benefits there

CLEYELAND'S CANDIDACY

Appointment Clerk Hassler, of the In.
terror Department, talking about the. news
paper stories in regard to President Cleve.
lands desire for re nomination, said:
There is one thing that can be set down
as absolutely certain about the whole bust
ness, and that is the fact that Cleveland is
not trying in the matter of appointments to
''fX" himself for denomination in the polit-
icai sense. lie does not appoint a man be-
cause he is ward politician, who can be
depenned upon to vote for him at the next
election Ill return for his appointment, The
main idea IN all the appointments which
Cleveland has made has been to secure an
honest man who will be capable in the best
sense of the word to fill the position for
which he is chosen. That he does not shirk
his work is shown by very significant fact.
This administration has been In office lit
tie over two years, and during all that time
not one of the persons appointed by the
President has been found deficient, dishon-
est, or in any way has brought scandal upon
the administration. That is record which
cannot be beaten or even approached by any
previous administration.

AMERICAN PATENTS.

The current number OF the Scientific
american calls attention to the import
ant fact that the United States Govern
ment is about to become q member of
the International Union for the Protec-
ton of Industrial Property, and that
within few weeks, probably, the in
ventors, merchants and manufacturers
of this country will be entitled to share
in all the benefits which the Union can
yield. One OF the special objects of the
Union is the security of better protection
for patents, models, designs, inventions,
trade marks and trade names. The diff
culties of securing international patents
have long been source OF complaint.
The issuance of a patent in this coun-
try to an American inventor virtually
precludes him from obtaining patent
for the same thing in most European
countries. In order to avoid this, the Amer
lean must now first obtain his patent in
Europe, and to prevent the invalidation
OF his European, or the abidgement of
his American patent, he usually endeav-
ors to have them both issue on the same
date. Besides this, there is always the
possibility of outsiders securing an Amer
lean invention in other countries in their
own name, and cutting off the rights of
the American inventor. These and other
difficulties, says the Scientific american,
will be removed when the United States
enters the Industrial Union. Zone of

THE PRESIDENT AND THE PUBLIC
LANDS.


The DEMOCRAT is in receipt of two
communications making inquiries in re-
gard to the Presidents late action con-
corning the public lands. AS Mr.. Cleve-
lands position upon that matter does not
seem to be geHerally understood in this
section where it is of interest to a large
number of persons, we publish the fol-
lowing facts. The case which involved
the Executive decision was that of Gull
ford G. Miller and the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company who had conflicting
claims to certain public lands in Wash
ington Territory. Miller, a settler on the
land in question, from 1873, alleges he
made substantial improvements upon the
land, and filed his claim to the same
under the homestead law on the 2Oth o
December, 1884. The railroad company
contend that this land is within the terri
tory, from which it was entitled, regard
less of settlers rights, to select from tC
supply any deficiency found to exist il
the grant by the government to said com
pany in aid of the construction of the
road, and that the land in dispute was
thus selected by the company on the 18th
of December, 1883.
The President says to Secretary La
mar, that he has examined the case
with much care and interest" upon the
papers submitted to me at my request, -
and he directs the Secretary to give
Miller his land. This decision OF the
President is not only adverse to the
opinion of the Attorney General, but in
conflict with a long line of Republican
precedents in the Interior Department.
He has thus reversed policy, which he
considers wrong in principle and in law,
and which has placed millions of acres
of the public domain. within the grasp OF
these giant corporations regardless of the
rights Of the actual settlers.
The President directs his secretary to
direct the railroad companies to locate
their indemnity" land grants, hereafter.
upon territory not occupied by settlers,
reminding him that all such selections of
land by the companies are subject to his
approval, aud 81 suggest" says he,
"that you exercise the power and au-
thority you have in the premises upon
equitable considerations, wth euery pre-
sumption and io'sndment in favor of the
8ettJer!" la O.uer words, the homestead
OF the settler must be held sacred an
secure from the touch Of corporate power.
Disregarding all precedent and custom
all executive rules and customs, our
Democratic President, with all of the
power of his great office, takes the side
OF the weak against the strong AMI thus
declares that such shall be the policy OF
his Administration with regard to the
class of public lands in question. A few
more such blows in the interest of the
people will not only make Mr.. Cleve-
Ian nomination and election sure in
1888, but deprive the contest of the
usual interest, by rendering the result
simply foregone conclusion.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-05-12
Personal POWER

The curse of the labor movement of the
day is personal power. This influence is
becoming as paramount as it is baleful
1t is rapidly working labor disintegration.
The loss of cohesion in labor organization
in process of daily development can be as
cribed almost solely to the desire for per-
sonal power. The grand coalition of la
Dor which was to redeem and regenerate
the condition of the American working
classes, pivots on the man, instead
OF the men. There is a constant
scramble in progress for individual au-
thorlty. This scramble reaches from
the highest to the lowest. Grand Work
man Powderly essays to rule by personal
dictation. A branch is organized, and il
immediatel y becomes a self-assertion. 1t
must have Grand Workman Powderly
on the reduced scale commensurate with
Its scope of action. This branch grand
workman at once apes the dictation of
the great Grand Workman. The branch
rapidly develops the idea that it is the
only true labor organization, and
that its Grand Workman is the
only Grand Workman. These pretty
labor potentates, when they are not
quarrelling among themselves, raise
their united clamor against the big poten-
tate at the head of the general organiza-
ton. Thus it goes. The labor leaders
believe in dictation, but each man must
do the debating. All other dictation is
an infringement on personal perogatives.
10 this system of individual dictation
can be traced all of the many false moves
made lately by the labor organiza-
tons. 1t is a system which is
necessarily irresponsible. Irresponsi-
bility leads inevitably to lawlessness,
and lawlessness as inevitably leads to
violence. Violence is reactionary, and
the cause of labor suffers. Thus the
dictator OF District Assembly 80, in New
York City, involved the Labor Knights
IN a violent and lawless struggle, in
which labor lost both sympathy and
prestige. This same individual domina-
ton has just driven large number OF
men from the Knights of Labor into the
ranks OF rival organization called the
American Federation. The labor organ
lzation OF America has degenerated into
the tends and vendettas of petty leaders,
the only idea of unity of action left being
the combining of these same petty lea l.
ers against those higher in authority.

DISTRICT TEACHERS.

In speaking OF the Mormon teachers of
the district schools, a Mormon exchange
says "that in ability, Gentle teachers are
not equal to these Mormon teachers. Z"
The truth of this assertion of our Mormon
exchange depends largely on the kind OF
liability" referred to. If the ability men,
toned is the ability to subscribe to all
Of the slavish and SUI erstitious observ-
ances of polygamous Church. If the
ability mentioned is comprised in mental
as well as physical prostitution. If the abil-
ity mentioned is the ability of ignorance to
pose as efficiency. Ii the ability mentioned
means the application of Church fraud
to the solving of the educational problem,
then our Mormon exchange is right II
on the other hand, the ability mentioned
means devotion to the interests OF edu-
cation, pure and simple; if it means in
the first place the ability to teach, and in
the second place the experience neces-
sary to successfully teach, then our Nor
mon exchange is wrong. And stubborn
facts prove that our Mormon exchange
is wrong. The ward schools Of Salt
Lake City are district schools. If
efficiency was to be displayed
by the Mormon teachers OF the district
schools it would assert itself in the
schools, comprised within the limits of
the m etropolis of the Territory. And
yet the district schools of Salt Lake are
miserably and notoriously inefficient.
This is a fact appreciated by Mormons
as well as by Gentiies, and it is likewise
a fact solely due to the incompetency of
the Mormon teachers. AS we had occa-
sion to point out the other day, sixty
per cent of the attendance on the
we'll conducted and well taught Christian
mission schools, is from children Of Nor
mon parentage. These Mormon chill
dren attend the mission schools simply
and solely because their parents realize
that even preparatory course at the
hands of the Mormon teachers of the
city district schools is hopeless. To this
disgraceful record of the district schools
of the city there is one bright exception,
and We will right here do it justice.
The Seventh Ward school is doing good
work And what is the reason of this
anomaly in district school annals? The
answer is easily made, and is eminently
explanatory. The Seventh Ward dis
trict school of Salt Lake City has Gen.
tile school board And with Gentle
school boards all of the district schools
of Salt Lake City would do good work.
And so it would be throughout the Terri
tory. Why at recent meeting of the
district school teachers of Salt Lake
Mormon teacher made an elaborate
argument against the system of examin-
ton of applicants for teachers certificates.
In his opinion no such examination was
necessary. A teacher ought to be taken
on faith-Mormon faith. What can be
hoped for, what can be expected, from a
sy stem of which the teacher referred to
was an applauded exponent?
